Originally posted by kscontourkid: well after reading and debating with myself i may just go buy the 96 3L after all and do a conversion with the 2.5L i have and turn the 96 3L into a possible candidate for touring. i will go ahead and start taking the 2.5 apart tonight and see where i am. correct me if im wrong but all i should really need is a 3L block crank and pistons in order to make the conversion. then i will scrap the idea of svt cams(cause the money for them will be into the 3L block) we'll see
